For me FW went from being a great option for choice and price a year ago to my last resort when I can't find a book elsewhere (or if by some miracle the FW price is lowest, which hasn't happened for the past 6 months at least).
As a non-US resident (i.e. highly discriminated against in terms of price and geo restrictions) FW has gone down to the bottom of the pile - and it's a big pile now! Most of their worthwhile titles are tied up with the Geo restrictions - I guess it used to be similar in the past, but you could easily work-around it with a little effort. Not so now.
And then there are the not-so-special deals they purport to offer. All-in-all, rather unattractive to me...
